(Hamble, United Kingdom)- The Royal Southern Yacht Club in Hamble will
host the 2017 J/80 Nationals from 16th-18th June, and entry for the
event is now open. This is likely to be a hugely popular event, as it
comes less than four weeks before the J/80 Worlds– also hosted by the
Royal Southern– and two months before Cowes Week. So it’s an ideal
opportunity for owners to hone their skills and gain valuable race
winning experience on the Solent.

The entry fee of £150.00 includes crane for launching and lifting the
boat, a berth in Royal Southern YC’s Prince Philip Yacht Haven during
the event, and trailer storage.

Daily refreshments will be available post racing and the Prize-giving
will be as soon as possible after racing on Sunday 18 June. The
organizers anticipate a healthy showing of prizes, including the J/80
Class Open National Championship Perpetual Trophy that will be awarded
to the overall winner.
